>>If you setup your system to only run code from trusted sources, which is what Palladium is intending to do, and someone emails you a script/binary that is a trojan, it won't run.
How does that protect from your Personal Web Server v2003 from getting a buffer overflow and running malignent(sp?) code? If your web server is trusted, then it can run code at a trusted level which means that a hacker could still do damage. Also, if you want to run lots of software that isnt Microsoft Certified(tm), you'd have to either click 'Yes I want to run this unsigned software' everytime, or you'd have to run in untrusted mode which'd be the same thing.
However, the RIAA owns the music, and they can do whatever they want with it.
Does that mean that it's fair for the RIAA to have the US government create a law to supress an industry who is helping advertise it's products or might not be playing any music the RIAA owns?
Why did you have to repurchase XP for each mobo? I knew their product stuff fast strict, but I had no idea it was that strict.
2ndly...I'm building 2 athlonXP systems, maybe you could cut a deal on some of the stuff in your drawer.
Thirdly, I wonder what caused your trouble. I have an athlon XP system, and my 3 gaming friends just built theirs and it's rock solid. Maybe you got a crappy mobo rev?
The issue isn't who server's better than who's. EA doesn't want their customer's data, and their server code running on a server that Microsoft has access to.
Can you provide a source for that? because there was a press release reacently that said they WOULDNT be dropping prices. Also, they aren't stuck on the child's gaming market, that's a misconception. How are resident evil and Medal of honor child's games?
Power usage maybe? There's not much juice on a space shuttle, and adding 30 watts(might be wrong) per processor doesn't seem very doable. Although, IANASSE(I Am Not A Space Shuttle Engineer)
The ACLU is seeking an undisclosed amount of punitive and financial damages on the Blackbear family's behalf, a declaration that the school violated the student's rights, an injunction preventing the school from banning the wearing of any non-Christian religious paraphernalia and an order expunging her school record.
There's the ACLU defending the liberties of all people again! Sheesh, I love how Christians don't seem to be included in the category of "all people"

37 HALF-LIFE
BLASPHEMY!! How is Half-Life after games like:
11 ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON
12 STARCRAFT
13 GOLF
14 ULTIMATE YAHTZEE
15 AGE OF EMPIRES
16 DIABLO II
17 COMMAND & CONQUER: TIBERIAN SUN
18 MAH JONGG FOR WINDOWS
I can see starcraft, but Tiberian Sun?? That game is aweful. Where do they get their data from? Online play? I though CS by itself had everyone else beat. Oh well:(
I didn't mean that they couldnt break, I was just saying you can't have a half-working processor. It either works or it doesnt--there's no in-between there.
"While AMD processors may be slightly cheaper and run legacy x86 programs more quickly, SSE-optimised code compiled with Intel's compiler completely creams even the new Athlon XP "1900". Intel doesn't need to make up marketing numbers in order to make their processors look faster than they actually are"
I have a few issues with what you said. 1)The fact that intel had to release a compiler specially designed to work with it's processor to get it to get all the perfomance out of it is goofy, I can probably bet that if AMD wanted to, they could release an AMD optimised compiler and do the same thing. Also, to get the performance out of that compiler you would have to recompile everything to use it(or wait for your closed-source software makers to provide you witha build) 2) The marketing numbers are made by benchmarking intel processors and AMD processors. The AMD marketing number is the approx. clock speed of a comprable intel processor. If anything, you should flame intel for making their instruction pipeline hideously long to get their processors to ramp up to high clock speeds(sacrificing performance at the same time).
"Our web server used to run on a 1.4GHz Thunderbird, which was cheap but notoriously unstable" The processor probably wasnt unstable, I have a similar system without problems, it's probably another part of your system. Processors either work or they dont you can't have a half-broken processor
"And when the fan blew out a month ago, the whole computer was taken with it!"
Why would you use a cheap fan in a webserver for a buisness? Why didnt you use monitoring software to automagically shut the system down when the fan went out?(and I know about the video...that's a different situation, in the Tom video, they took the heatsink off, with the heatsink on, there should be enough time to shut it down.
Exactly, Slashdot has the bandwidth to handle caching maybe the sites on the top few articles, and they can periodically update those caches. To keep people from completely sucking bandwidth, they could not mirror files > a few megs. I dunno, maybe Taco's real busy writing the code to keep from making repeat posts....or maybe he isn't.:)
> And do you think that the teachers couldn't use ane extra $7500/year? Maybe they could use that to offset the out of pocket expenses for running the class(buying materials)

The second point I can agree with, but the first one I disagree with. Why would being a teacher mean that you don't want to be paid decently. Teachers have to do a lot of work for the measly pay. They understand that going into it, but it still doesnt help when they have to goto the store and buy materials for his/her class because the school wont.
Maybe it's harder to find an Xbox because theyre not manufacturing as many of them..... If I remember right, nintendo was producing something like 400,000 units for their launch as opposed to Xbox's 300,000. Anyone wanna look that up?
Slashdot Mirror
I feel silly for saying this, but what's the joke?
Because it has to be autonomous?(sp?)

Or maybe it was just a picture of a flagpole next to the launch site......

It's neither:

Then just go back to AOL if you dont like it, noone is forcing you to use their connection.
I've been wondering about that too. Why is linux support for NTFS lagging?

Avtually, don't do that, because MS will be able to woo good game developers with it's increased console sales from the burning crowd.

It went out with checking for reposts. :(

A simulation is just a game without a story line/AI etc... I 'm sure the same prinicples would carry over.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that Carnot effiency had to do with Carnot engines, not just all heat-based engines.
